Doménikos Theotokópoulos, widely known as El Greco (The Greek), was a leading painter, sculptor and architect of the Spanish Renaissance. El Greco’s style was enriched with elements of Mannerism and the Venetian Renaissance, adopting a dramatic and expressionistic style that was met with puzzlement by his contemporaries, but gained widespread appreciation in the twentieth century.
